BURNOUT
and do it daily , even if it ’ s just 15 minutes . Try yoga , Pilates , dancing , body weight exercises , qi-gong , walking , swimming , whatever you like . There are so many free exercise / movement videos online , so check them out if you want to find some cool new ideas and routines . I love using the app Down Dog each morning for a 15-minute yoga flow .
4 . SPEND TIME IN NATURE EVERY DAY .
Spending time in nature can help relieve stress and anxiety , improve your mood , and boost feelings of happiness and wellbeing . Whatever you want to call it — forest bathing , ecotherapy , mindfulness in nature , green time or the wilderness cure — humans evolved in the great outdoors , and your brain benefits from a journey back to nature . For me , I ’ m at the beach or walking outdoors every day . Even in the middle of winter , I make sure I get outside . Kick your shoes off and feel the grass or sand under your toes and take in some deep belly breaths . For extra mind , body and soul nourishment , take your meditation or movement outside and soak up as much of those negative ions as possible .
5 . GET INTO BED AT 9PM AND GET 8 HOURS OF DEEP SLEEP .
There are so many benefits of getting good quality sleep — including boosting your mood and avoiding burn out , being more focused and ‘ sharp ’, having a healthier heart , steadying your blood sugar ( so that you ’ re not always reaching for a sugar hit ), boosting your immune system and balancing your weight … and that ’ s just for starters ! If you read my books and listen to my podcast , you will know that I LOVE my sleep and I ’ m in bed by 8pm each night ( sometimes even 7:30pm ), I LOVE it ! I make sleep a priority . I get into bed , read , connect with my husband and take that time to wind down . If I have a few late nights I really feel it — I want sugar , I ’ m cranky , I get irritable and start to feel run down and burnt out . Make sleep your priority to avoid burnout .
There you have it , my to five ways to avoid burnout .
